wait for it to fully charge up until I can start it? I guess I still don't fully understand the nature of batteries. I just bought a new Optima Yellow top battery because the Red top of mine just can't handle the juice from my sound system. Anyway, I just installed the Yellow top battery in. I tried the factory remote to open/lock the doors and it worked. However, when I tried to start the engine, it didn't start. The Yellow top battery have been sitting in storage for awhile. So, I thought maybe it need some time to be fully charged? I'll try again tonight and see if it work.

 

Um, I think you just answered your own question...

 

So, I guess I do have to wait for it to be fully charge? How long? One full day?

 

What kind of battery makes you wait for it to charge. Even if it was sitting a while, i think the battery's quality is Shi**y. I had a battey sitting in my garage for 2 months in winter and when i finally put it in the car started right then like a dream. I guess the new batteries have to be charged, i have been on the same battery for 3 years.

 

That depends on what kind of charger you're using.

 

Depends on the battery. I got a battery for my motorcycle and i had to put in the fluid, then charge it. I got a battery for my car and i just stuck it in.
